P.S.T.) today. , In the absence of any official com ment from either side, observers be lieved the prospective pact would settle questions In relation to the Black sea and the Dardanelles and would define the attitude of each nation toward the other In the cur rent European war. The impression ferew In diplomatic circles here that an agreement was imminent, as the Kremlin's talks with the Turks caused Indefinite postponement of further conversa tions with the Finns. Finnish Envoy Delays. The Finnish envoy, Dr. Juho Kustl Paaslklvl, who had planned to visit the Kremlin again this afternoon, visited the Soviet agricultural exhibi tion Instead. He might be asked to go to the Kremlin later tonight, for resuming the parley begun yesterday at Rus sian invitation, but even the Finnish legation was not informed whether be was expected. Paaslklvl was believed awaiting general instructions from home be fore proceeding further. The Finnish position for dickering with Russia was improved by diplo matic backing of the United States, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The Washington government and the three Scandinavian countries In effect urged Russia not to make de mands upon Finland which might endanger Russian-Finnish relations. Turkish Resistance Seen. The represents Ions were made yes terday about the time Dr. Juho Paaslklvl had hla first session with Soviet leader. ' In diplomatic circles belief was expressed on reason for the pro longed stay In Moscow of the Turk ish foreign minister was the possi bility of Turkish resistance to some of the Russian proposals.

Earlier, Malkin. who said ha had served a prison term for his part In the 1926 furriers' union strltas In New York, told the committee Arnold Rothstein. slain New York gambler. had loaned the communist-dominated furriers' union about 1.750.000. some of which went to New York policemen. Malkin, Russian-born naturalized American cltlwn. testified 100.000 was paid to policemen In a 17-week period during the strike for keeping away from the union's "sluggers." Sent to sin sing Malkin, who testified he was a member of the communist party from Its Inception In 1920 until 1936, said he was sent to Sing Sing upon con viction of felonious assault, growing out of the furriers strike, in which several persons were Injured. The witness said these officers were among those paid with Roth steln's money: Johnny Broderick. whom he iden tified as "chief of the gangster squad;" Jesse Josephs. Brodertck's assistant, and Barney Rudltzky. Malkin testified he disagreed with the International labor defense over Its conduct of his case and accused that organization, for which he had been a special organizer, of using funds collected In his behalf for communist purposes. I Meanwhile, legality of the forma tion of the Dies committee was chal lenged In federal court In a demurrer filed to an Indictment accusing Fraser 8. Gardner of perjury in testi mony before the committee In con nection with the Silver Shirts, de scribed as a fascist organization In the United States. Reds Take New Tack Gardner's answer contended the committee technically no longer existed because It waa not appointed In accordance with house rules at the start of the seventy-sixth session of congress last January. Speaker Bankhead over-ruled the same contention at that time. Malkin said that after the ex pulsion of Leon Trotsky from the communist party, William Z. Poster, American chairman, brought back from Moscow in 1928 a new "party line' by which the communists at tempted to organize their own un ions. That policy was changed In i 1934. because of the success of the A PL In organizing under section 7-A of the NRA, to a policy of "boring from within" the federation, he ex plained. The agency through which the communist party organized its un ions. Malkin said, was the Trade Union Unity Council, of which he was one of four organizers. Malkin said these unions resulted from that work: the Food Workers' union. I Transport Workers' union. Hospital Workers' league. Pharmascists' union. Radio Workers' league, Furniture Workers' Industrial union, Retail Salesmen's union. Office Workers' union. Newspaper Guild. Mirror Nov elty Workers' union. Novelty Jewelry Workers' union "and some others." Reds Rule Unions He said all were dominated by communists and gave this descrip tion of them: Pood Workers: Now affiliated with the A PL, with 40.000 to 45.000 mem bers in New York City under the name of the Hotel Trades Council; led by J. Rubin and Mike Obermeyer and controlled by communists. Transport Workers: Led by com munists, among whom Malkin named Michael Quill, who. he said, was a national director of the CIO: mem bership 80.000 to 90.000, mostly In New York City. ttaaio worjters: une-imra oi me executive board members of the com munist party. Including the national secretary of the CIO; membership 60.000 to 70.000. Furniture Workers: Affiliated with the A PL; membership of 30.000 to 40.000; two-thirds of the executive board members of the communist party. Retail Salesmen : Affiliated with the CIO and headed by Clarina Mlchaelson; two-thirds of the execu tive board members of the commu nist party and the rest "fellow trav elers." Office Workers: "Absolutely con trolled by the communists" and di vided Into two groups Bookkeepers, Accountants and Stenographers un ion (AFL) and the United Office and Professional Workers of America (CIO). Kent Bright Pink The latter group, Malkin added inJUdes the unitea American Anisw. led by Rockwell Kent, cut ne saia he was "not sure that Rockwell Kent Is a member of the communist party but he Is very, very close." Matthews declared, however, Kent had acktiowl edged his party membership In ai article In the New Masses. When further questions developed that Kent had been employed to execute a (40.000 mural at the In terl or department building Represen tative Dempsey (D.. N.M.) objected and Chairman Dies (D., Tex.) nounced the matter would be stricken as irrelevant. Representative Starnes (D., Ala.) exclaiming he could "see no reason why a govern- ment agency should employ a com munist to do anything." asked Dies by what authority the matter would j be stricken. "I swum the committee gives me authority to strike matter that should not go Into the record." Dies replied, and Starnes did not press the point. Malkin said ne helped organize ! the Newspaper Guild and knew It was "strictly controlled by cotnmu- i mat, among whom he named Hey I wood Bruun, president, and Morris ; Watson, vice-president. He said that Broun had withdrawn from the party recently after his conversion to the ! Catholic church. nike Klder Killed ABERDEEN. Wah..

The Instrument, used by the' bureau to chart meteorological conditions, waa found by Edward Kubll of the Applesate district in the Cow creek section of the Sisklyous. Ivan Brown, one of several cowboys riding In the Sisklyous, first discov ered the box but evidently believed that It was some government device not to be tampered with. Kubll next found It and plans to send It to the Fries company in Baltimore, accord ing to the box directions, and receive a reward. Since the weather bureau started sending up the small boxe3 about the first of September there have been only two reported found, the other one having been located almost In the town of Klamath Falls several weeks ago. Forty-five of the boxes have been sent aloft since September 1, the weather bureau said. A balloon car ries them up, a parachute lets them down. The boxes are smalt and aluminum colored, made of cardboard with a metallic foil coating. They contain delicate instruments for recording meteorological data. A reward of from $1 to 20 la given the finder of each box, the size of the reward depending on the condition of the box. It was reported that the one found by Mr. Kubll was not damaged at all.

ONLY PEACE HOPE (continued tom page one) CRATER LAKE S1AFF TO neutrals to request them to mediate. Hitler's appeal last Friday for peace that "those peoples and their leaders now speak up who are of a similar i peaceful ) mind" was said to have been an "official document" i addressed alike to neutrals and bel- llgerent. I Now, authorized sources said. It is up to neutrals to make their voices heard on their own Initiative and In consciousness of their respon sibility and not because Hitler or anv other belligerent should ask them. The official press release indicated how completely "through" with Chamberlain Germany considered herself. Insult To Germany It called Chamberlain's speech "an unheard of Insult to Germany" and said that In it the prime minister "did not represent the cause of the people but the cause of a small clique which sees Its task in war." "From the experience of Versailles," the statement concluded, "the Gor man people know what England's will to annihilation can do and It therefore knows the path It must trod In order to foil this will of Its enemies." Dr. Dietrich, who talked Informally with correspondents after he had been with Hitler for several hours, said he felt Britain had risked what he called "her Insolent reply" through Chamberlain only because she relied upon the United States to support her. Dietrich declared Chamberlain's speech to the house of commons yesterday had shattered all other hope of an armistice on the western front before operations there begin in earnest. He indicated Germany was pre pared to unleash her full might against Great Britain and France unless the United States stepped In to bring the allies and Germany together across the conference table.
